I have recently built myself a new computer, here are the details:

So far I have installed 3 different Windows Professional operating systems after clean formats. First I installed a Windows XP Professional corporate, then I installed a Windows XP Professional 64-bit corporate and finally most recently I installed just plain Windows XP Professional. Every time I reinstall everything seems to go fine, I fully update XP and install all drivers, install AVG antivirus and update everything else completely. This problem happens over time after every reformat.

At first I will occasionally receive error messages at startup saying that an alternate...

I've already asked a few people in personal messages about this, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer (if it's possible, and if it is how to do it). Basically, I am set up to read up to dual-boot. I got my disk of Ubuntu Linux and all that, all I need to do is set aside some Gigs, download the OS and dual-boot and all that. I also got two monitors, and I want to use two monitors.

My question is, is it possible with the same computer to use my Windows 7 on one screen, and my Linux...

Is there someone who can find the problem? I was making an essay of an article. I used MS WORD 2003 when I created the document. My document was really creative because I made some creative stuff in the there to make it presentable to the instructor when I pass the file.

When I used the computer of my classmate I noticed that she using MS WORD 2010 and when I open the file the error message prompted on the screen and says "cannot open file. doc". I tried it again but still nothing works? Is it possible that MS...

I want to download a free (Let me reiterate I mean FREE, like originally free, not the illegal copy) drawing/graphics software. You know, like Corel Draw, Paint Tool Sai, Adobe Illustrator, and other softwares. Here is the catch: they all need Administrator privileges and some, passwords! I cannot access the Administrator for my own reasons.

Anyway, does any of you know a drawing/graphics freeware that doesn't require Administrator rights?

Thanks guys.

I am in possession of a dell GX280 system – its form factor being tower – that has shown the following issues lately:

1. Fan issues: first and foremost the fan is very noisy and secondly it runs really fast. The system also hangs a lot and has really slowed down lately with processor really heating up. I did try applying the processor paste to the processor, while this did make the noise go away, it didn’t solve the slowness of the computer.

 
2. Slow boot up: when turn the computer on, it takes ages for the machine to come on...

Hello out there,

Well, I have a desktop computer with a Gigabyte motherboard with integrated sound card, Intel pentium 4 (3.0 GHz), 512 Ram.

Operating system is Windows XP and the sound card driver had to be found. I had the hardware details from the Device Manager list; right click on the uninstalled hardware, the one with a yellow background exclamation mark on the left of it, get to the hardware properties details and copy the Hardware ID. It read : PCIVEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_A0021458&REV_023&13C0B0C5&0&FD

I pasted that on www.google.com and followed a link to get the hardware driver....
